Episode 3: Rubens shocks the world, plus more exclusive outtakes

Maybe I’m old fashioned but when I hear muscle car.. I think Chevy,Ford,Chrysler,Dodge  ,Pontiac.. 20ft coups with a 2 tn V8.. and not a eurolux with 500bhp and 7 forward gears.. but hey. some ppl still say video when what they’re actually trying to say is blue-ray… So what hammo did was comparetively irrelevent in the muscle-car spirit of expectations.. he put the audio casette against the ipod and found the ipod better but liked the tape more…

ps san1.. MR… ? And if I’m not ?

Sorry. What that should have read was :

Mr, or indeed Mrs ‘st.george’

so if one’s looking to challenge amg go to M.. and not shelby..or what have you… The idea behind muscle cars was big and powerful.. and cheap.. so not exactly amg territory. If merc made a 5litre V8 for around 20k, well that would have been a more interesting scenario..:D

..even miss or ms or maybe just simply st.george.. like it says before “…….”said .. noworries though.. I just thought it worth mentioning.. hahahaha I am a bit bored atm..

oh and.. erhm… on last comment san1 .. or gtigtsgt…. next time check your screen name b4 you comment..:D…

…and stop changing screen names just so you can agree with yourself. Bang goes your credibility, you nutter.

Explanation for the changing screen names.

My mate finds this whole argument really funny, so he just rang me to say what he did, and I don’t find him funny and I’m sure that you don’t either.

The name change trick thing was something he’d said he would do but after lots of shouting, he promised he wouldn’t. He has.

Don’t be fooled into thinking that I have to make things up just to earn some sort of respect. I know better than that and so should the plonker who’s layed this trick on me.

If anybody uses a ridiculous name and posts stuff like that about me again, you know who to blame, and don’t take him or the comments seriously because it’s all rubbish that he thought would be funny to fuel the fire and add to the argument, and he’s landed me in a huge mess.

I apologize to anybody who was offended and I’ll do my best to stop him from repeating this idiotic trick that’s done nothing for me on here.

Whoever said that I ‘agree with myself’, well…….. yes I do, if I didn’t agree with the things I say then that would be stupid and pointless and I wouldn’t say them. It’s the fool that landed me in this mess who ‘agrees with me’, and I shall have to devise revenge.

okay.. so back to biz as usual…shame, shame, shame…

I thought these telly blogs were here to give ppl the opportunity to gossip a bit, get some cut footage that tg thought should be scrapped from the show and then recycled here as unseen material… and they perhaps they figured that some mostly useless but free of charge feedback may also come in handy and so created some space to express opinion ON THE SHOW.. yet time and time again personal vendetta is all that is left.. comment after comment, page after page, week after week for the second year running.. are you all for real ? Sure it can be entertaining but the persistance eventually kills all the “wit”.. or is it just me ? Maybe it is… than again when discussions stagnate towards the “I’ve watched tg longer than you have..” it’s just dumb so if it is just me.. I guess I can consider myself lucky.. it’s all in the genes…

Hammond’s muscle car test would’ve been better if the Stig could make both cars attempt to slide within the lines of the Hammerhead turn.

The Panamera/Rapide/Quattropo rte road test was absolutely brilliant. I’d actually pick the Panamera just to make other drivers feel sick by the car’s rear-end design as I leave them in the dust.

What, no retaliation from the Stig man??!!

San1 – Shut up now. I dont believe you for a second you lunatic. You changed your screename because its easier to justify it as “somebody else” than it is to be honest – because being honest makes you look even more of a psycho. Somebody like you doesnt have mates and if you did and they came here to see what sort of crap you come out with, they’d sod off because of how much of a nutter you are. You dont need to justify yourself. You dont need to respond. The more you say, the worse it becomes. Just shut up now. You’ve humilated yourself enough.

@ st.george

Weirdly enough I think the person most to blame for all of this (The Monk) is the person that contributes the least to these rather tangential arguments we tend to have on here. I’ve also found that he is the person that speaks most about Top Gear which is one of the reasons why I feel he doesn’t contribute to these arguments. It’d be interesting to see how he feels about it.

I too am getting sick of seeing these arguments now. The last two pages have been predominately nothing but ripping up San1, and I hate to get nostalgic but it was never like this last series. It might even be an indication that Top Gear is improving. Less room for thought, less mistakes for us to talk about. So those with a desire to rip something apart end up ripping each other apart out of boredom more than anything.

Even The Monk has calmed down a lot this series. If people think he’s bad now they should have seen him on here in series 14. You should have seen most people on here during series 14.

Well, you can believe what you want, but if you don’t want to believe the truth, then that’s your problem.

I’ve given you my explanation, and that’s that. I frankly don’t care what you believe, because I know the truth, regardless of whether or not you think it’s a lie.

Oh, and one more thing Mr ‘terry escort YEAH’, you wouldn’t know whether or not I have mates, so that’s not for you to decide. Don’t make a comment when you don’t have a clue about the life of the comments recipient.

On a happier note, to get away from the arguing and brawling :

What do you drive ?

I thought this episode was great. The three-car-test was actually something a bit different (be good to see something like this a bit more regularly – DS3 vs Mini vs Mito?), although James getting “lost” did seem a bit staged. SIARPC segments were good, but I’m not sure whether we needed both in the same programme? All in all a good show, much better than the first episode.
The disagreement is getting a bit samey on here… either we think it was a good show or it wasn’t. People need to be a bit clearer – I think a poll would be good, that would be a great way to see what people think…

Mr ‘danthemaninthevan’.

I drive a ’10 plate Ford S-Max and my other car is a Vauxhall Corsa VXR

San1 – I know enough about the type of person you are from what you say to judge that you dont have any mates. The fact you had to justify yourself to me or even respond is proof enough.

Now sod off

@ Danthemaninthevan

I drive a Honda Civic. I don’t say what model or what year the reg is purely because it’s trivial information that nobody needs to know or warrants any importance.

@hallogallo.. I did see some of the massacre here last season.. it was what put me off coming here this season.. I usually tap in to read the latest clarksonian wisdom and than click over to have a laugh.. a bit like paging through hello in an empty moment i suppose.. Skip the boring bits and soak up some juicy trivia and chuckle at some the thickest thoughts chaning through the reactions but the quality has hit rock bottom recently..you probably know what I mean.. anyway.. it isn’t really important so why bother I suppose.. I do miss the car chat though.. no one really seems to care much.. and that I think is a shame..

http://google.com

..and I don’t think anyone’s to blame.. it just turned out this way.. the monk came here all peed off, let off some steam.. found a crowd for and against his opinions and bathed in the popularity.Fair enough, he does put effort into composition, spelling, structure..and to some extent even inspired others to try and do the same.. I think they’ve all over done it a bit.. crossed the line where it is just not funny.. doesn’t even have nonsense value.. just pseudo intellectualism, zero style, no topic except humiliation of self and others.. just bad taste really.. bad taste regardless whether one’s 12,32 or 92 years old..

No Mr ‘terry escort YEAH’. You know next to nothing about me outside of topgear.com so whether I have any mates is not for you to judge.

It’s stupid the way you think you know things about me ,which you obviously have no clue about, just because you’ve read a few things I posted on here.

Get over thinking you know who I am and who I know, because after all, it’s a few sentences. It doesn’t tell you :

1. Who I am
2. Who I know
3. What I know
4. What I do

So if you will, quit making comments about my life, because you haven’t even an inkling into what I do when I’m not having to battle through people thinking they’re superior. Bring the talk back down to earth.
